Ryan Reynolds is a bright up and coming star, and we here at The Movie Blog have expressed our feelings towards Reynolds in the past. The Movie Reporter has an interview with Reynolds which was held during some publicity for his new movie Waiting… . He comments on a question about The Flash and whether or not he is a fast runner.
Yeah, there are so many issues with that, that’s a humongous movie, if it does go I am sure it has to go through all the appropriate channels. I imagine God is financing it I don’t even know, I don’t know what it would cost to do that movie but it’s all that sort of stop motion stuff it would just be a huge feat but it something I am excited to do and I know David Goyer’s really into it so. Yeah, yeah, hopefully … Uh, well by the time they get it made no (laughing) I’ll be a fossil I’ll be a golden girl but uh yeah I think the magic of film will help me out a little bit but I can run pretty fast I’ve stolen a thing or two in my life.
I like Reynolds; he was the only character who I enjoyed in Blade: Trinity -well Jessica Biel was really hot- and I was pleased with the The Amityville Horror remake. Reynolds displays his comedic attitude very well, and it’s obvious that he is serious about maintaining the muscle in order to keep up with his acting peers.
Do I think Reynolds will make a good Flash? It would be interesting to see. Like many times, it all depends on how the story is laid out. Will it be DC dark and serious like Batman Begins, or will it be saturated with comedic tomfoolery?
The Flash is a great character but can be tricky in live action. I did enjoy the TV series staring John Wesley Shipp, but that was a half hour show -maybe a hour- which is rather easy to maintain audience attention.
What are your thoughts on Reynolds being The Flash? What elements do you think are essential for a successful Flash story?
